The ability to organize into large groups is one of the greatest social innovations in history, and is a fundamental aspect of civil society.
I worked at a company that had an 'individual' service, and a 'business' service.In Spain, Italy and Greece and S. America - our customers were 'individuals'. In Germany, France and UK, they were 'business' accounts. Those economies with more 'business' accounts have somewhat more advanced industrial basis than those with 'individual' accounts.
There are many things that can only be developed at scale, and certain kinds of specialization that only become available at scale.
Only a company with X people can start to invest in Y kinds of things, which is a huge part of their competitive advantage.
Yes, big cos are seemingly more inefficient at the individual level, but their scale actually might imply greater efficiency.
Put another way - someone at only 50% individual efficiency at a big corp, may be 'creating more value' than otherwise.
